Your figures for Barrichello and Button are the wrong way round

what how? Button is heavier than Rubens.. by 1 lap [EDIT] Just checked the F1 site data and your correct now edited them. Very good job by Rubens he could get the win Tomorrow.

Can someone remind me how many sets of soft and hard tyres each driver can use during the weekend? Is it 3 or 4?

Longbow - heard Alonso hasn't got KERS this weekend, i think...

Didn't think the RB's would be that light either, so hmm, i'm gonna predict the Brawns and Trulli for the podium (on outright pace that is, barring accidents etc).

Nice job by Buemi too!!

Yeh i'm saying i wonder why they tanked lewis since they could of made him light like alonso and he might of got pole or p2/3 and Lewis with kers could of jumped a few people

[racechick]

Yeh prety glad that lewis is quiet heavy but i wish they had gone light and then done an oz when he did a few laps on on the super softs then pitted.

he could of got p2 ahead of alonso i think.

And P2 with Kers he could really jump them.

Mind you i expect him to jump a few people from 9th.

I think LH might just make a podium.

Yeah I think he cud barring incident. That wud be cool!

[cap-dude]

Lewis deffinetly has good chances tommorrow. The start/finish straight is shorter than Sepang, but I expect he'll still be able to leap 2 places. Podium though, doubt it unless there's incident.

Still no sign of any penalities for Vettel, so fair enough I guess. Perhaps no one raised the issue seeing as Kovy didn't seem to make much fuss about it afterwards. I think the race were going to see tommorrow is whether or not Brawn can pass Red Bull during the race. We seen Brawn push in Sepang with Button jumping 2 cars in the pits, so it's a question of whether or not they can do that again, and which of the two Brawn's will come out ahead. Also, can Alonso hold onto a poduim seeing as he's most likely 3 stopping. Can Ferrari score a point.

Gonna be a great race tommorrow

I get you, although i reckon it's a smarter move long term, not a good idea to start on the softs like Alonso and maybe RB will, if they go off while everyone is still close it's a higher chance they'll get passed than at the end when the field has spread. Assuming there's no rain or SC that is! If there's an SC near the start it helps anyone who starts on softs like in Aus.

Yeah it looked like his car was pretty easy on the tyres also I hope he can KERS past Kimi on the start that would do a lot of good!

I thought it was four.

And yeah, Buemi is really impressing me. I reckon he'd have had a good result in Malaysia if he hadn't made that mistake in qualifying.

I reckon both Red Bulls will make it on to the podium, Vettel and Webber are no slouches. The third podium spot, I think, would be a Brawn, but I wouldn't discount Alonso completely.

[emma]

woop woop. Go Vettel!
*boogies*

I really, really hope that blocking incident doesn't give him a penalty (if it was indeed him - the commentators said both cars in front of HK pitted after they'd blocked him, and since SV was one of the last to cross the line for his lap, I wouldn't think it could have been him - unless the commentators were wrong lol).

Buemi did a great job! I think Toro Rosso know how to pick their Sebastian's XD

I'm looking forward to the race tomorrow

[Hexagram]

Alonso really needed pole with that much fuel. If he cant get ahead of Vettel into the first corner of within the first couple of laps he's screwed in terms of challenging for the win.

but Alonso does this type of strategy a lot when he isn't in quite as competitive car as he may want and sometimes it works to great effect.

[irons_4_ever]

Alonso is lighly fueld but has a diffuser.

Brawn, webber, or hamilton i think will win this

I don't think lewis can fight for the win I think a podium or decent points will be his aim. I expect a Brawn or Red Bull car to win
